Built for anyone who takes medication.
Kapshul is a simple, supportive medication tracker designed for all routines — whether you take daily prescriptions, manage short-term treatments, use supplements, or follow a specialized regimen. We built it to make managing any medication easier, without clutter or compromise. Your details stay private and on your device.
What makes Kapshul different.
Traffic-Light Alerts
Each dose shows a single colour. Green for on time, amber for late, red for overdue. You can see your progress at a glance, without needing to read the details.
Home Base Alerts
If you have a dose due, Kapshul reminds you before you leave home, so you can take it if needed.
Effortless medication entry.
Kapshul uses the FDA medication database, trusted by clinicians and recognized worldwide. Just search for your medication, choose the strength, and the details fill in automatically. If you don’t see what you need, you can add it yourself in a few seconds.
Search a database that knows the details.
Type in a medication name, and Kapshul finds nearly every strength and form — tablets, capsules, liquids, patches, inhalers — with the right dosage details already filled in. No more typing out every dose or worrying about spelling.
For prescriptions specifically, the scanner can do this for you in a single photo — but the database is there for the times when typing the name is faster than digging the bottle out.
Metformin5,000+
Search the FDA database
5,000+ medications with brand names, generics, and pre-filled dosage details. Includes prescription medications, over-the-counter remedies, vitamins, and supplements. Used in the US and recognized internationally.
Manual add, when you need it
Regional brands, herbal remedies, anything obscure or specialized that's not in the database — add it manually in seconds with the same scheduling and reminder features as everything else.
Every medication type
Kapshul tracks all forms: tablets, capsules, liquids, inhalers, injections, patches, creams, drops.
Reminders, your way
Customize every medication’s notification.
Set as many reminders as you need for each medication — early, on time, late, or persistent. You only need to set it up once per medication.
Early, on time, and late — in one place.
One settings screen, three alert states. Choose how far ahead the early reminder fires, when “late” starts, and how the alert escalates if still untapped. Every alert respects your device settings.
A full-screen alert that’s hard to miss.
When it’s time for a dose, you’ll see a clear notification on your lock screen. Tap it, and Kapshul opens to a full-screen alert with everything you need — medication name, dose, and instructions — right up front. Mark it taken or skipped with a single tap, so you never have to sort through a pile of notifications.
Alert sounds start gentle and become more persistent if a dose is still due. Every reminder respects your iOS Focus and Do Not Disturb settings.
Critical doses
Keep Pestering
For critical medications, Keep Pestering sends repeat alerts every 15–90 minutes until you act.
Off by default. Opt in only for the medications that earn their keep.
Privacy is our foundation.
Sign in with Apple. No email or password to manage. Your medications, schedules, and history are stored on your iPhone and in iCloud backups if enabled. Kapshul never sees this data.
WHAT WE STORE
Only your Apple ID and subscription status.
WHAT WE DON'T
Your medications, doses, or history — we never see any of it.
ONE-TAP DELETE
Delete your data from server, device, and iCloud in one tap. GDPR / CCPA compliant.
YOUR LOCATION NEVER LEAVES YOUR PHONE
Home Base Alerts use iOS region monitoring. At setup, your phone reads your GPS and Wi-Fi once. After that, iOS handles monitoring. Location stays on your phone; we never see it. iOS sends a local alert if you leave with a dose pending. No court, subpoena, or advertiser can access your location.
Designed for universal use.
Kapshul is designed for accessibility. Larger buttons and text, high-contrast choices, and a calm, clear interface make everything easy to see and use.
A calm interface, not a clinical one.
Most medication apps look clinical. Kapshul feels like a calm morning — soft tans, warm oranges, and roomy design, so checking meds never feels like a chore.
Each medication has its own colour for instant recognition. Tell your morning pill from your evening tablet at a glance — without reading.
AaAaAa
Larger text and tap targets
Body text exceeds iOS legibility standards and respects iOS Dynamic Type — scale it up if needed. Buttons are sized well above iOS minimums with generous spacing, so accidental taps are rare even on shaky hands.
7.2 : 1
contrast ratioHigh-contrast
The app has been reviewed against accessibility standards, so you can be sure it's legible and easy to use.
Per-medication colours
Each medication is assigned its own colour. The colour shows up on the home screen, in the dose card, on the widget, and in the notification — so you can spot which med is which without reading anything.
Explore every Kapshul feature.
Each block describes a feature, what it does, and how it works under the hood.
Traffic-Light Alerts
The status of every dose at a glance — no reading required.
Computed from dose time + configurable late/overdue thresholds (defaults: 15 min late, 30 min overdue).
Prescription Scanning
Point your camera at a prescription label. Kapshul reads it and pre-fills the medication form for you.
The photo is sent to Google's Gemini vision model, which reads the label and returns the medication name, dose, and instructions. Kapshul uses that to fill the form and never keeps the image. You're asked once before your first scan, and you can switch the feature off in Settings whenever you want.
Smart Reminders
Schedules that adapt to your routine — daily, every X hours, weekly, monthly, one-off, as-needed.
iOS local notifications. Respects Focus modes and Do Not Disturb. Re-schedules on every dose action.
Keep Pestering
Persistent reminders for the doses where missing one matters. Off by default — opt in per medication.
Replenishment notifications at random 15–90 min offsets until the dose is taken or skipped.
Refill + Doctor-Renewal Alerts
Get reminded before you run out, and before your prescription does.
For each medication, you tell Kapshul how many days of supply you have left and how far ahead you want a heads-up — both for picking up a refill at the pharmacy and for getting your doctor to renew the script. Each medication can be set up in its own way.
Home Base AlertsPersonal tier
A reminder before you walk out the door if a dose is still pending.
When you set it up, your iPhone learns where home is. After that, iOS itself watches the boundary and wakes Kapshul if you're leaving with a dose still due. Your home Wi-Fi acts as a sanity check, so a quick walk past the front door doesn't trip it. Your home location stays on your iPhone — Kapshul's servers never see it.
Home Screen Widget
Your next dose, right there on your home screen — so a quick glance at your phone tells you what's coming up.
Tap the widget to open Kapshul straight to that dose. The widget refreshes as you take and skip throughout the day, so it always shows what's actually next.
Trends & History
Weekly and monthly adherence views. Useful for your own awareness, and for showing your doctor.

More than just pills
Inhalers, eye drops, ear drops, topical creams, transdermal patches, injections, liquid suspensions — Kapshul tracks any medication you take, not just the ones that come in a bottle. Each medication type comes with the right schedule template out of the box: a once-weekly patch and a four-times-a-day cream both work as they should, without you wrestling with the settings.

Common questions
Things people usually want to know.
Where does my medication data live?+
On your iPhone. If you turn on iCloud backup, a copy is stored in your iCloud Drive — the same place your phone backs up everything else. It never reaches Kapshul's servers.
Do you sell my data to pharmacies or advertisers?+
No. We can't — we don't have it. Our servers store only your Apple user ID and subscription status. The medication data is on your phone.
Can I share my medication list with a caregiver or family member?+
Coming soon to the Personal tier. You’ll be able to add a caregiver who receives an SMS if you’re late taking a dose — so the right person knows without you having to broadcast every move. Single-user is the default; caregiver alerts are opt-in, dose-specific, and never share your full medication history.
Is there an Apple Watch app?+
Not yet — it's planned post-launch. The home screen widget covers the most common 'check next dose' use case in the meantime.
What happens if I delete my account?+
One tap in Settings revokes your Sign in with Apple link, deletes the server-side account record, wipes the on-device database, and removes your iCloud backup — all at once. GDPR Article 17 / CCPA compliant. There’s no going back if you delete from your iCloud; we don’t keep it!
Why no drug-interaction warnings?+
Deliberate. Drug interactions are clinical guidance and your doctor's job — not a tracker app's. We don't want to give you advice we're not qualified to give.
